Release Day + Review ~ Max (Cold Fury Hockey #6) by Sawyer Bennett

The ice is a cold mistress. As the league’s most eligible goalie, Max Fournier has access to his fair share of willing puck bunnies, but right now he’s more interested in bringing home another championship than a one-night stand. A romantic at heart, Max believes in love; he’s just not great at relationships. So when he finally meets a nice girl who’s not blinded by his celebrity, he’s feeling the heat—and the pressure to save her from herself.

Between working two jobs and raising her sister’s kids, Julianne Bradley doesn’t have time for sports—or men. All she knows about Max is that he’s the sexiest customer to ever grace her gas-station counter. And he sees past her tired eyes and makes Jules yearn for things she can’t have: a glamorous fling, a passionate lover, and the time to enjoy both. Max makes her feel like Cinderella, even though Jules has enough baggage to crush a glass slipper. Luckily, he’s no prince—only a fierce competitor determined to win her heart.

Max is another great book in this awesome series. What I loved most about this book were the characters. Max and Jules aren't your typical characters you expect to see in a contemporary sports romance. Especially Max was a great character and the main reason why I loved this book. In most sports romance the guy is a player and doesn't really want to commit to one girl. Max was the opposite, he was done playing the field early on in his career. He wanted what his parents had: a rock solid never ending romantic relationship, where the fire is still burning even after so many years.

I also loved how Jules and Max met. It was very unconventional but it really showed what a great guy Max was. Jules is also amazing! She is strong, independent, loyal and protective. She is taking care of her two nephews and a niece and working two jobs. It was beautiful to see how Max lifted her up in times of need. He was such a great support and helped as much as he could. Max is one hell of a catch, and I'm kind of jealous of Jules that she managed to take him off the market.

This was a great sports romance with amazing characters, I also enjoyed touching base with the characters from the previous books. But I especially enjoyed the epilogue where we get to see how Jules and Max are doing now, it really brought a smile to my face. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
